Revit 2011 Project management

Management
Project management has to do with all the project settings that control (and therefore restrict)
any number of project variables. Looking at the Revit organizational chart ,we’ll discuss each of the management options in the rest of the chapter as we discuss the UI.
At the moment, the most important part of project organization to discuss is worksets, because this has to do with workflow and how the team comes together to work on the project simultaneously. Worksharing is covered in more detail, but we’ll cover this topic here at a high level as it relates to overall workflow of Revit.

There are two kinds of worksets: system managed and user managed. The user cannot create, manage, or assign system-managed worksets. Users can only create, manage, and assign worksets and elements that are assigned to user-created worksets.

When worksharing is enabled, Revit creates worksets for everything in the project: datum, content, views, and settings. Revit manages the worksets related to families, views, and project standards.

But as for the actual content that is being used in your project (not just loaded, but actually in use) such as datum, 3D host and system families, and spaces, Revit allows you to create, manage, and assign worksets to those elements. The elements that are assigned to user-defined worksets are illustrated in

Levels and grids are assigned to the Shared Levels And Grids workset. All other 3D project
geometry (system or components) is assigned to Workset1. The great thing is that you only need to create and assign workset to a limited number of things that you’re using in your project. Revit is managing the worksets assigned to everything else.
